My Story

Belinda Gail Hinson was born July 9th, 1951 in Hickory, North Carolina. She was the second oldest in her family of five. She has an older sister, Janice, and three younger brothers: Michael, Dennis, and Dale. Her family moved to Pacoima, California where she met her first husband, Art Curd. She had two children with Art; Steven and Christal. Steven was adopted in 1972. Christal was born in 1974. Art and Belinda divorced in 1978. Belinda's second marriage was to Ron Tavalaro. They had one son, Ronnie, born in 1980. They divorced in 1985. Belinda's 3rd marriage was to Tony Scott. They lived together in Canyon Country for a few years before eventually moving to Las Vegas. She has seven grandchildren: Brittany, Anthony, Nicholas, Courtney, Samantha, Payton and Stella.

Belinda was a loving mother and wife. She always went without to make sure her kids had everything they needed. She spent many years working as a receptionist and office manager for a number of companies including Investors Mortgage and also worked for a number of insurance agencies. She was a hardworking woman who insisted on having a spotless house and on making dinner every night. Some of her favorite activities were shopping, decorating her home, and talking to her family on the phone. She was also a great cook who loved to make people their favorite meals when they came to visit her or she went to visit them. She was afraid of flying but did more than her share in order to be able to spend time with her geographically dispersed family.

In March 2011, she was diagnosed with a grade II diffuse fibrillary astrocytoma. She underwent chemotherapy and radiation which enabled her to fight off the cancer for 2 1/2 years.
